CVE-2025-6242

Vllm: server side request forgery (ssrf) in mediaconnector

Published Oct 7, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the MediaConnector class within the vLLM project's multimodal feature set. The load_from_url and load_from_url_async methods fetch and process media from user-provided URLs without adequate restrictions on the target hosts. This allows an attacker to coerce the vLLM server into making arbitrary requests to internal network resources.
